VanVleet and Scottie Barnes combined for 48 points Saturday night as the host Toronto Raptors romped over the road-weary Golden State Warriors 119-100. Making his first NBA start, rookie Jonathan Kuminga took advantage of the increased opportunity to pace Golden State with a season-best 26 points in 36 minutes. The Warriors never seriously threatened en route to their third-lowest point total of the season. VanVleet shot 6-for-10 on 3-pointers, and his 12 assists were his second-most this season, topped only by his 17 against the Bulls in October. Boucher finished with 11 points and eight rebounds, while Precious Achiuwa chipped in with 17 points, Yuta Watanabe 12 and Gary Trent Jr. 10.
